Description
### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
Updating multiple Copilot CLI plugins requires running /plugin update individually. No bulk update exists.
### Proposed solution
/plugin update --all — updates all installed plugins, prints a summary of what changed.
### Example prompts or workflows
Standard QoL pattern (npm update, brew upgrade, gh extension upgrade --all). As the plugin ecosystem grows and the number of installed plugins grows, this becomes essential for easy update management.
### Additional context
_No response_
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the existing /plugin update command and trace how a named plugin is updated. Extend the flow to accept --all, process every installed plugin, and print a summary of what changed; done means bulk updates work without naming plugins and existing single-plugin behavior remains intact.
